What a horrible, horrible man! I hate him with the strength of 100,000 suns! His malicious bullying of President Zelensky was done with ignorance and malice!Ukraine is the country which is now where my paternal great-grandparents left in ca. 1877. #istandwithukraine

It’s so difficult not to be on FB today, of all days! #istandwithulraine.

@Michaelsteele did @joyannreid win the week?

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

We love you #joyannreid

We love you #joy-annreid

Bad move MSNBC. How come it’s always the smart BLACK WOMAN who gets the axe? And Alex loses her show, too. Why not Joy or Alex to replace the retired Andrea Mitchell? And I don’t like the idea of an evening (afternoon for us) panel show. We love you, #joyannreid. @msnbc #msnbc

consolation for the Super Bowl losing team: don't have to go to WH

I need some positivity before tomorrow tomorrow so I’m reading The Book of Delights by Ross Gay in preparation for his talk at our library text month.

@maddow.bsky.social Separated is too important a film to ruin it by commercials losing its effect on viewers.

Senate confirms Biden’s ethics czar, who will remain under Trump Senate Democrats use dwindling floor time to confirm a new head for the government's ethics office, with whom Trump administration often butted heads in his first term.

A little good news today.

Heard on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show on MSNBC tonight:

“Lead your life as though justice should matter.”

—Laurence Tribe, professor at Harvard Law school.

Please share for trans/nonbinary/gender expansive people. And a note that they are the only hotline I know of that will NEVER send law enforcement to your house or hospitalize you against your will. 988, however, does that frequently, which is not safe for many people.

Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Will the last democracy supporter left on X please shut off the lights.

I’m still struggling.

America didn’t deserve them.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.

The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.

Don’t give them want they want.

Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

That never bothered 45

Remember: Matt Gaetz resigned his present house term; he didn’t resign his 2025-2027 term. This was merely a ploy to stop the investigation as to whether not he had sex with an underaged girl. If he isn’t conformed (but WILL be with recess appointment) he could serve in the house.

Hold on tight; it’s going to be a stormy four years. If it ends then. We’ll be picking apples and standing in soup lines before then.

Glad to be here! What’s everybody reading? I’m reading the new Jodi Picoult, By Any Other Name and I’ve Tried Being Nice (Essays) by Ann Leary for my Short Story book group.
